Raw Description
AusMed Global Limited (AusMed) was founded in late 2017. AusMed headquartered in the Hong Kong Science Park is a fast-growing biotech company focusing on providing affordable non-invasive medical devices and solutions for both home and point-of-care uses in response to the global challenges in diabetes, overweight and obesity. | AusMed is the industrial partner of the University of Sydney and a game changer in ketone measurement innovation. Its patented “Non-invasive Photonic Sensing for Monitoring Diabetes” makes AusMed the industry pioneer in providing a truly non-invasive handheld breath ketone analyser with both high Accuracy & high Selectivity. One breath with a result in 3 min provides an unprecedented experience in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) management and ketosis monitoring for weight loss and diet management. The smart-diet app with the cloud-based AI expert system for diet management enables remote patient monitoring and big data analytics of chronic disease risk assessment for the betterment of public health. | AusMed obtained approval for conducting clinical studies in Hong Kong and is preparing for clinical trials and regulatory approval in numerous countries. AusMed obtained the Judges’ Recognition Award of the HKABA NSW Chapter Business Awards 2021; and the Silver Medal from 2022 Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions for its invention “KetoMetrics – High-Performance Fat Loss Management Solution”. || Product | Against all conventional metal-oxide-based breath ketone meters, KetoMetrics is a truly non-invasive handheld breath ketone analyser with both High Accuracy & High Selectivity. Being unaffected by other VOC gases, limited contamination, washable or one-off breath tube, and easy operation steps, KetoMetrics enables one breath with a result in 3 min anytime time, and anywhere which provides an unprecedented experience in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) management and ketosis monitoring for weight loss and diet management. | Technology | Patented “Non-invasive Photonic Sensing for Monitoring Diabetes” makes AusMed the industry pioneer in providing a truly non-invasive handheld breath ketone analyser with both high Accuracy & high Selectivity.

Strategic Analysis

Executive Brief

AusMed Global Limited is a biotechnology firm specializing in non-invasive medical diagnostics, specifically targeting metabolic health (diabetes and ketosis). Their flagship product, KetoMetrics, utilizes proprietary photonic sensing technology to measure breath ketones with high selectivity, bypassing the limitations of traditional metal-oxide sensors. They are currently scaling from R&D into global clinical trials and regulatory approval phases.

Strategic Fit & Lead Score

Lead Score: 68/100 (Adjacent Tech / Strong Potential)

Why this Score? While AusMed currently focuses on photonic sensing, their core engineering challenges—selectivity in complex gas environments, optical clarity, and sensor longevity—are areas where MPCVD diamond excels. As they move toward miniaturization and higher sensitivity (DKA management requires precision), the thermal and optical properties of diamond become critical. Furthermore, diamond’s biocompatibility makes it an ideal candidate for their breath-path components to prevent VOC contamination.

6C Solutions Proposal

Application Area 6C Solution Technical Value Prop
High-Precision Optics PCD/SCD Optical Windows Diamond has the widest spectral transparency window. For photonic sensing in the Mid-IR range (where ketones exhibit strong absorption), diamond windows provide 0% moisture absorption and superior chemical inertness vs. ZnSe or CaF2.
Sensor Thermal Stability PCD Heat Spreaders To maintain "High Accuracy" in a handheld form factor, internal laser diodes/LEDs must avoid thermal drift. Diamond spreaders (thermal conductivity > 2000 W/mK) ensure stable wavelength output for the photonic sensor.
Next-Gen Sensing NV-SCD (Quantum Grade) Nitrogen-Vacancy centers in Single Crystal Diamond can enable quantum-grade magnetic/optical sensing of trace biomarkers, potentially increasing sensitivity by 10-100x for early-stage DKA detection.
Anti-Fouling Coatings Nanocrystalline Diamond Direct coating of the breath intake manifold to provide a hydrophobic, chemically inert surface. This minimizes "carry-over" effects from previous tests and reduces bio-contamination without affecting gas flow.
Electrochemical Hybrid BDD Electrodes If AusMed expands to liquid-phase ketone testing (urine/blood), Boron Doped Diamond offers the widest potential window and lowest background current for electrochemical detection.

Engagement Hooks

  • Technical Question: "How does your current photonic sensor maintain wavelength stability and signal-to-noise ratios as the handheld device heats up during consecutive 3-minute breath tests? Would a diamond-based optical interface help eliminate the interference you currently face from high-humidity breath samples?"
  • Value Statement: "6C can help AusMed reach the next level of 'High Selectivity' by providing MPCVD diamond optical components that are completely impervious to the humidity and VOC contamination that typically degrade medical-grade photonic sensors."
